the same
time it was the dawning of the resurrection. Since then (over four years)
I have had many experiences, some of which seem too sacred to give to the
world. False literature has caused me much suffering; sorrow has visited
my home; but, through all this, the light that came to me on that Monday
morning--that new and precious sense of omnipresent Life, Truth, and
Love--has never left me one moment. It was the light that cannot be hid.

Healing
Four years ago I learned for the first time that there was a way to be
healed through Christ. I had always been sick, but found no relief in
drugs; still, I thought that if the Bible was true, God could heal me. So,
when my attention was called to Christian Science, I at once bought
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," studied it, and began to
improve in health. I seemed to see God so near and so dear,--so different
from the God I had been taught to fear. I studied alone night and day,
until I found I was healed, both physically and mentally.
Then came a desire to tell every one of this wonderful truth. I expected
all to feel just as pleased as I did; but to my sorrow none would believe.
Some, it is true, took treatment and were helped, but went on in the old
way, without a word of thanks. But still I could not give up. I seemed to
know that this was the way, and I had rather live it alone than to follow
the crowd the other way. But as time passed, I had some good
demonstrations of this Love that is our Life.
I am the only Scientist in Le Roy, as yet, but the good seed has been
sown, and where the people once scoffed at this "silly new idea," they are
becoming interested, and many have been healed, and some are asking about
it. One dear old lady and I study the Bible Lessons every Tuesday
afternoon. She came to call, and as we talked, she told me of her sickness
of years' standing; and was healed during our talk, so that she has never
felt a touch of the old trouble since.
One lady, whom I had never seen, was healed of consumption in six weeks'
treatment. She had not left her bed in four months, and had been given up
by many physicians.
